I Removed Office 2007 Beta, but I can't reload Office XP Pro. Hel

[Hazy90]

I was able to remove 2007 manually, but I also lost my previous versions of
Office.Even though they are listed in control panel. I tried to reinstall
office XP Pro, but keep getting error message 1402: Setup cannot open the
registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\classes\giffile\shell\open\ddeexec It asks if I
have sufficient permission to access registry... What do I need to do to
regain
Office XP Pro?

Download the Windows installer cleanup utility and run it and remove office XP
Then install the office XP from your disk. This should fix it.
Or else there is the office tech support. Call them up for free.

Hello Arun,

I'm stuck with Office 2007 Beta and Offce 2000. The 2000 barely works (2007
is dead) but I can't uninstall either one. I tried the Installer Cleanup
Utility but no help. What is the phone number of the Tech Support? You said
it's free, I would like to call.

Thanks,

Val
